I think you have to fake the axis thru dummy series. Good link btw. @Chris… I think you have to fake the axis thru dummy series. Good link btw.

Thanks for sharing your experience. @Jon.. good suggestion.

You'll find interaction charts are used a lot in the biomedical sciences to show when changes in particular outcomes, let's say the effect of a drug, are dependent on other factors, for example age or sex. Jon, I absolutely agree that panels make for a really time efficient and data rich method for visualising interactions across many variables. Ross, I'm not sure about a table beingt he best option. To me, the chart would help the reader understand the nature of the interaction much better than a table. A table with a sparklines/microcharts may be even better. I suppose it comes down to what question you're answering with the chart. Are you more interested in the exact figures (in which case I totally agree with you) or is the main story the interaction (in which case I'd go with the charts or table with sparklines). Nice post.

Should this chart be a table…
